But there are products available that put serious desktop security onto
both 3.1x and 95 - in some cases rivaling NTW but at a fraction of the
cost. So you can keep the business investment in existing training and
applications, but gain the desktop security you need.
Any that you can't bypass during bootup with Ctrl-C, or stick your own boot
disk in, and see the whole file system with no privs???
..And once you've authenticated yourself properly, do they prevent the user
from changing system configuration settings?
These problems, especially the latter, have plagued me for some time now. If
you have a solution, I'd love to see it!!
